The Nikkei average is up by about 20 yen, with the top gainers among the selected stocks being DeNA, Ryohin Keikaku, and Chugai Pharmaceutical, etc.

On the 21st at 11:03 AM, the Nikkei average stock price fluctuated around 38,700 yen, down about 20 yen from the previous day. In the morning, the trading began with sell pressures due to the decline in US stocks on the 20th local time and yen appreciation against the dollar. After the selling pressure subsided, the market showed signs of a slowing decline; during a budget committee meeting in the House of Representatives, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda stated, "If long-term interest rates rise sharply, bond purchases will be increased flexibly." Excessive expectations for rising interest rates have receded, and at 10:43 AM, it was 130.77 yen higher at 38,808.
